Abstract
We construct new manifolds with SU(3) holonomy that are candidate vacua for superstring theory and give a detailed explanation of the techniques involved. Some of these manifolds have a non-abelian fundamental group and thus can lead to a rank five low energy gauge group. Models with an odd number of generations are obtained. CP violation is discussed in this context and shown to occur generically. Topological features of the Yukawa couplings are also discussed.
